The Terrible Twos In Perpetuity

4/2/2024
Is modern parenting doing more harm than good? In this episode, I unravel the complex layers of how today's parenting practices may be inadvertently extending childhood well into the adult years. I take a hard look at the practices that label typical two-year-old behaviors as disorders and challenge the authority of parents, replacing time-tested discipline with emotion-driven reactions. By sharing my insights from inside the psychology profession and from my own creative musings, this episode proposes a reevaluation of parenting norms and mental health rhetoric. Join me as we confront these critical issues head-on, advocating for a return to principles that instill resilience and respect within the family fabric.

Dr. Jordan Petersen and I Are Not Twin Brothers of Different Mothers

3/26/2024
Could the ideas of Dr. Jordan Petersen be leading us down a treacherous path? Join me as I scrutinize the philosophies of a figure who has captivated millions with his interpretations of the Bible, the question of God's existence, and the application of Darwinian evolution to human development. In our latest episode, we dissect the 'Introduction to the Idea of God', where I outline my reservations about the coherence of Petersen's thought and the risks his teachings may pose. As we tread through these intellectually charged waters, you'll gain a fresh perspective on the undercurrents that may be shaping modern thought in ways that are not immediately apparent.

Scary Parenting: Part Two

2/13/2024
Forget everything modern psychology has spoon-fed us; I'm here to resurrect the time-tested, authoritative methods that breed not tyrants, but well-adjusted, respectful, and ultimately happier kids. This episode is a daring call to reconsider the role of obedience and fear in child-rearing, as I dissect the misplaced belief in permissive techniques and set the record straight on why a little bit of 'scary' goes a long way in fostering desirable behaviors.

Fearful Parenting: The American Mother's Dilemma

2/6/2024
I recently had a conversation with an Austrian woman that turned my understanding of American parenting on its head. She shed light on the stark contrast between our fear-tinged approach and the straightforward, instinct-led style of Austrian parents. In this episode, I unpack the origins and impacts of the American psychological parenting revolution of the '60s and '70s and how it has left today's mothers wrestling with a host of fears.

Are Women to Blame?

1/30/2024
Are women - mothers, that is - primarily responsible for America’s child-rearing problems? Well, um, uh, in a sense, yes. Mind you, America’s child-rearing problems are primarily the fault of America’s mental health industry, which is nothing but junk science, but if the problems caused by America’s mental health industry are going to be solved, women - mothers, that is - are going to have to take the lead.

Psychology Has Paranoia
